Chapter 24- The Incompatible Brothers… First Adventure

Upon entering the Pocket Realm, Longmin immediately felt a change in the atmosphere.

First of all, the Spiritual Qi that was abundant everywhere in the outside world was nonexistent here. What replaced it was a strange energy that was somewhat similar.

Longmin had read a lot of books about the Wu Clan but none of them ever mention what this energy was. As a matter of fact, there weren't any books in the Wu Clan that actually explain what the Pocket Realms were and how they came to be.

There were only a few speculations scattered here and there that all said the same thing, that it was a different dimension created by high-level experts in the past to pass on their legacy and wealth. That would have explained the ruins and treasures within them.

This was the truth that the majority of people accepted, but the fact that they were around for thousands of years with no one getting any legacy of the sort remains in question.

There were also two types of Pocket Realms, a Lesser Pocket Realm, and a Greater Pocket Realm.

The major differences between them were their size and the strength of the laws within them.

For a Lesser Pocket Realm, the laws of heaven and earth within them were only strong enough to accommodate cultivators in the Core Formation realm and below.

If someone in the Nascent Realm were to force their way in, perhaps the Lesser Pocket Realm would be able to hold out from collapsing, but it would constantly try and expelled that Nascent Realm cultivator through extreme methods that could scare them witless.

If a Sage Realm existence tried to enter a Lesser Pocket Realm, their aura alone would cause it to slowly crack and fall apart like a house of cards.

A Greater Pocket Realm though was far larger than a Lesser Pocket Realm and the laws within them were strong enough to allow Sage Realm beings and below to enter.

Looking around at the spectacular scenery in the Pocket Realm, the second thing that Longmin noticed was different was that there were seven suns in the sky!

Which made him flabbergasted because this was such a big difference from the one sun in the outside world.

'How could this small dimension contain four suns? Was this place really created by an expert in the past? If so, how much power did this person have for them to have created such a place? Can granduncle even do something similar?'

Longmin was absolutely taken aback by the sight, and not just him, even Longwei was staring wide-eyed and mouth agape at the strange phenomenon.

The last thing Longmin realized was the increase in gravity. Judging by the pressure on his shoulders, he could sense that gravity was nearly eight times stronger than the outside world.

At first, he had a hard time adjusting to the pressure but eventually he was able to bear it due to his strong fleshly body.

Longwei however didn't have much luck, sword cultivators were inherently more prone to have weaker physiques than someone in the same realm since they were more focused on sword comprehension.

Longwei would walk a few steps forward and his feet would leave behind deep footprints in the ground.

Seeing this, Longmin laugh and took the opportunity to make fun of him.

"Brother, in these circumstances wouldn't you have been happier if your Legendary Physique actually gave you a stronger physique rather than a faster cultivation speed?"

Longwei who was a few meters ahead turned and glared at him.

Longmin's only reaction was his grin becoming wider.

To Longmin, this brother of his always had a glib tongue during their conversations, so he always had a bitter aftertaste at the end.

Times like these where Longwei didn't have a comeback for everything were rare, and Longmin always took advantage of it by knocking him down a notch.

Seeing the grin on his brother's face, Longwei released an angry laugh before saying.

"You just wait until I get my hands on that Heavenly Pallet, we'll see how long that grin of yours can stay on that face. And don't think I forgot how you sneakily used your Spiritual Sense during our match yesterday. After I develop my Spiritual Sense there's no way you're going to beat me."

Longmin huffed and said.

"Compared to how you're always pulling those tricks during our matches, mine is nothing. And what if your Spiritual Strength transforms into Spiritual Sense, is that going to make a difference?"

As the two brothers bicker back and forth, the two guards' perpetually indifferent expressions were broken by the slight curve of their lips. They were both thinking to themselves that their two Young Masters were really too incompatible.

They were practically fire and water, as soon as one gets closer to the other it's either the fire evaporates the water or the water overpowers the fire and extinguishes it.

They were young at the moment so they were at an equilibrium somewhat. But as they grow older, that might completely change.

"Well whatever, our goal for coming to the Pocket Realm is to get my Heavenly Pallet from the Spring of Incarnation. So that's where we're heading."

As Longwei said that, he sent his Spiritual Strength into the jade slip in his hand, and a detailed map of the Pocket Realm appeared in his mind.

Looking at the map, one could see that the Pocket Realm was hundreds of thousands of kilometers in size and was separated into the outer region, the inner region, and the core region.

The largest of the regions, the outer region, was the safest place that only had Rank 2 demonic beasts. Though the area was safe, the highly valuable treasures within that region were already swept clean by the past disciples. Maybe several mid-grade and high-grade spirit herbs could be found, but one had to search high and low to find some.

The somewhat smaller region, the inner region, was where the disciples mainly focus. There were several palace-like ruins that might have treasures, along with several towers that would spew out valuable items to disciples that were deemed worthy by the tower after using some unknown method.

The inner region was also somewhat dangerous as it contain numerous Rank 3 demonic beasts. Even a Core Formation disciple wouldn't explore the region alone, if they ever come across several peak tier Rank 3 demonic beasts at once it would be a miracle for them to survive.

And lastly, but certainly not least, is the smallest region in the Pocket Realm, the core region. This region was also dubbed the Valley of Death by the disciples of the various sects and clans, as the only thing that would await anyone foolish enough to venture in there was death.

The entire region was said to be the territory of several rank 4 demonic beasts. In the past, a disciple from the Divine Music Institute, a Sage-level institute, was said to have ventured into the valley alone.

No one knew what he did, or how he did it, but he somehow manage to piss off all five of the Rank 4 demonic beasts. At that time, everyone knew that demonic beasts that could rival Nascent Realm cultivators were residing there, but no one knew how many or how strong they were.

It was when that world-shaking event happened that they knew that there were five Rank 4 demonic beasts within that region.

Three of them were equivalent to an early-stage Nascent Realm expert, one of them was as strong as a mid-stage Nascent Realm cultivator, and frighteningly, the last one was actually a high-tier demonic beast. Which was similar in power to a late-stage Nascent Realm cultivator.

If you ask anyone what it was like within the Pocket Realm when those demonic beasts went on a rampage, they would tell you that it was apocalyptic.

For some reason, they weren't subjected to the laws of the Pocket Realm and could live freely within it.

However, during their rampage, the laws within the Pocket Realm began to suppress and prevent them from stepping out of the core region. It was almost as if they were being kept within a prison by the Pocket Realm itself.

That was the only reason the sects and clans felt it was safe enough to send their elites into the Pocket Realm. If such wasn't the case, they wouldn't have dared send their disciples in.

As Longwei looked over the map for a while, his focus came to a stop on the inner region.

Specifically the northeastern area.

There on the map, the words Spring of Incarnation were written in bold characters.

After determining the general location, he placed the jade slip in his storage bag and turn to his two bodyguards.

"Let's head northeast to the Spring of Incarnation first."

The two bodyguards in black both cup their fists and replied in unison.

"Yes, Young Master!"

Longwei then turn to Longmin and said.

"We'll get my Heavenly Pallet first before we start exploring the rest of the Pocket Realm. Are you fine with that little brother?"

Longmin was about to respond, but before he could Longwei cut him off by saying.

"Alright then, let's go! This is our first adventure for us brothers, so you should stay behind elder brother and I'll keep you safe."

Longmin scrunched up his face upon hearing that, but a warm feeling still bloomed in his heart.

'That's right, this is actually our first time outside of the clan together. I guess brother is just as excited as I am.'

Longmin might argue with Longwei quite often than not, but he still felt a strong brotherly bond with him that no amount of arguing would change. And he was sure Longwei felt the same as well.

One of the two black-robed bodyguards stepped forward and released an intangible force that slowly spread out to cover several meters in front of him.

After reaching a certain distance, the intangible force suddenly solidifies along with the space it occupied.

Seeing this Longmin's eyes lit up and he closely watched this happen.

From the solidified space, spatial fluctuations could be felt before a massive bird-type demonic beast emerged.

'The appearance of this beast was likely from a separate space in this cultivator's Sea of Consciousness.'

Longmin thought to himself as he recalled what Beast Tamers were.

As soon as the bird appeared, it stretched its majestic fifty-meter wings and released an overwhelming aura of a peak tier rank 3 demonic beast while letting a deafening cry that echoed for miles.

A dust storm was kicked up in the area, but the other black robe figure was standing in front of Longmin and Longwei blocking it.
